Telly With Melly for June 5: Brother vs. Brother, Hot Girls Wanted

Plus, River Monsters visits Papua New Guinea

There’s brotherly love — as in putting up with a sibling who steals your secret candy stash. And then there’s brotherly love — as in teaming up with him to build a home-renovation empire and land among the most recognized personalities on HGTV.

For twins Drew and Jonathan Scott, it’s the latter. On Monday, they kick off Season 5 of Brother vs. Brother: Jonathan vs. Drew. Their signature series, Property Brothers, ended Season 6 last week and their second book, It Takes Two: Our Story, is out Sept. 5.

In this season of Brother vs. Brother, the duo each have $600,000 to buy and transform two houses into vacation retreats. Older brother JD is the referee over weekly challenges: the winner does fun things like zip lining and playing with penguins, while the loser endures an exercise in unpleasantness, like catching shrimp for the winner’s dinner.

All proceeds from the homes’ sales go to the non-profit Rebuilding Together.

“He’s desperate to win,” Jonathan, who won the last two seasons, told The New York Times. “I was also born first, so I also won that competition.”

Said Drew of their success: “The shows are not so foofy that guys don’t want to watch, kids want to watch because we’re goofy and women appreciate it because you’re getting real design knowledge.”

It might also help that they were named among People’s 2013 collection of sexiest men alive. Brother vs. Brother drew more than 14 million U.S. viewers last season.

The sex factor

Not only is Rashida Jones starring in Season 3 of Angie Tribeca (airing Mondays on Comedy), but she also produced Netflix’s docuseries Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On. It explores topics related to sex and technology, like feminist porn, Tinder and rapes posted online.

“Things were very different than when I was growing up: On the one hand, there’s a ton more sexual freedom. There’s a ton more room for young women to be whoever they want, show whatever they want, which is great,” Jones told Time.

“On the other hand, there’s a lot more pressure to be sexy. That was my in into this world because I think technology is a huge part of that. There’s a lot to unpack.”

Monster tales

River Monsters travels to a fishing community in Papua New Guinea for the new episode Volcanic Island Terror, airing Monday on Discovery. Residents are terrified when something in the water leaves a trail of bloody victims in its wake, and the only clues they have are the large puncture wounds it left behind. One man describes it as large, black big-headed fish. Cue the full-body shudder.
